Intelligence, manners, sense of humor, friendliness (right on princesscando), and integrity. That's what allot of men look for but can't seem to find. Don't play games ladies, just be ladies(in a modern non profiling way of course, .... shwoo!)
Seneca, I can see why women might start to suspect you of being a serial killer after spending time with you.
Unnamed staff writer, why don't you clarify #4? You want women to "date fair" and say nothing about what that might mean. Should women and men go dutch? Or go dutch after a certain point? Or drive across town and pick you up half the time? It's not very fair to point an accusing finger, and yet not explain what you want.
I think dating fairly is just that. Don't assume, don't attack. Don't be the girl who says hey your the man you pay. I've seen it in reverse and it's annoying. I mean when the guy is like oh can you get this one every time it's stupid and annoying. And if you had to drive twenty minutes out of your way to see someone every time you see them would you want to do that. Or better yet if you are making a conscious effort to make time to see someone and they just don't have time to see you is that dating fairly. Or when someone twists facts or adds in false facts or lies or cries just to win an argument is that fair? Compromise is what dating fairly is all about and instead of treating your date like your servant treat them like you would any friend.
I think the most important thing is to be up-front with one's needs, values & goals - this avoids any games on either side and avoids time-wasters and game-players.
Sometimes guys get freaked out by this approach... but at least it appeals to their need to have direct communications & no guessing games.
Good luck to all who continue the search :-)
Also - NEGATIVITY. One of my matches said that eHarmony was a waste of her time and money. I immediately closed commumication with her. A relationship takes a lot of energy and frankly FAITH to make it work. To hear negativity at the very beginning is a big turn off.
This reply is to funnyguy. its a shame women dont apprieate men like you anymore, but i think its because most men dont want to treat a women like that unless shes the one. and thats really sad cause the one might get away because of the way shes treated in the beginning. most men i've dated want you to prove your worth that. sorry guys were worth it and more.
It's important to understand the way a site works. Rigidly assuming / insisting that eH works likes all the others you're used to isn't utilizing the site functions to your best advantage.
